I have a unique family/listening room layout, and wondering if it's possible to add bass traps in a non-standard location. My room is 18' x 21' (HDTV, console cabinet, and speakers on short wall) with sloping 10-12' cathedral ceilings (see attached pic). My speakers are ML Summits, positioned ~4 1/2' from front wall, and ~5 ft from side walls. Listening position is from our couch, roughly 12' from speakers. Functionally, there is no back wall, since room opens fully into 18' x 14' kitchen (see 2nd pic). With this setup, the overall soundstage is wide, deep, with excellent imaging. My only problem is persistent bass boominess ~30-70 Hz, likely from nodes/nulls which I can't fully attenuate despite the Summits manual bass adjustments (+/-10dB at 25 and 50 Hz). I believe I just need some good bass trapping to manage this, BUT because of an arched hallway entry at the right corner, and limited space on the left, there is no place for tube traps in the corners. WAF issues absolutely preclude placing any large bass traps elsewhere, IF THEY ARE VISIBLE. So, I'm wondering if it's possible to either...
1) "hide" a large custom-sized FLAT bass-trap panel (say 2' x 6' x 5") BEHIND the A/V cabinet, or
2) "stuff" some bass-absorbing material in the hollow bottom of the couch (see pic).
I have just ordered a Denon 3808ci, with Audyssey MultiEQ XT, which I'll use only for video/surround mode, but I doubt it will correct those bass issues.
Would either of the above ideas actually work? If not, I'm open to all other WAF-friendly suggestions?
